Kids and Friends!



Luckily, both Emily and Turner are pretty social. They both made friends right away at school; but it’s taken it little longer to develop “activities” for them to do with their friends after school and on weekends. Em was quicker to do this and spent the past two Fridays downtown with a group of kids trying to spot celebrities at Sundance (to no avail). Turner, however, has taken a little longer to get integrated. Fortunately, there is a neighbor boy his age that he finally was able to connect with for some weekend fun! The boy’s sister is Emily’s age and they have been friends since school started; so it’s nice to have a family in our neighborhood that has kids the same age as ours.



Today was the first day all four (Emily, Turner and their friends Maddie and Zach) went skiing together. They had chaperones (Tim and the other dad, Brian). It’s really nice to see them getting out and doing some things!



Emily is taking a babysitting class tonight (Friday) and tomorrow. Turner is checking out a Boy Scout troop next week. So, they should have even more connections to keep them busy. I’m looking forward to it! They both love having social connections, and I’m glad to finally see them getting connected here.



Tim and I are off to the Wilson’s tonight for some birthday fun. We are definitely not lacking in social activity, which is good. We’ve been keeping busy with work and finding time to relax in the evenings…a nice change from 2009.



Next week we’ll be visited by my parents. I’m so excited!!! They’ll be here for about a week and a half. The kids have winter break for a week during their visit; so we should have lots to report in a couple of weeks!



Stay tuned!



Love,
Gina
